In the following pages, you’ll read more about these programs and the people who got a second chance at life thanks to United Way volunteers, donors, and supporters. Together, we have made all the difference. Through Community Impact, we not only have the power to change lives, we can change the future of our children … and our children’s children. This year, we’re digging deeper to understand the challenges we face. We’re listening to the voices of San Diegans through our Community Conversations to hear what needs to get done. Most of all, we’re keeping our goals in mind: improving the Education, Income and Health in our region.
